Thorough wedding is most important
point in onion culture.
The earlier fruit is thin the more profit
able the operation
Sheep multiply fast and returns come
from them quickly. The owner of a well
managed flock has wool to sell in the
latter part of spring. lambs in midsummer
and mutton at other times of year, besides
supplying his own table.
A little more care for the ornamental
trees would add greatly to the beauty and
value of the farm homestead
The land planted with early peas and
beans may be made TO carry a late crop of
squashes of cucumber pickles.
Early cut hay, cured green, gives color
and flavor to butter.

Masonic Aims.

Aim not so much at high Office in the
Craft as to be true Freemason in thine
heart 1t is not necessary that we all
should take Office, nor is it possible for
us all to do so; but it is of essential i'm
portance that every Freemason should
prove by his actions that he has no
crept into the Craft under false pre-
tences, but that lie is really anxious to
live its holy precepts, not only for his
own sake, but also in order to make him
self more useful TO his fellow-creatures.
A selfish Freemason is perjured man,
in whom | for one could place no conf
denee, whatever signs or passwords he
may be able to give.-Bro. Markham

Hand-Shaking is an obsolete custom
in London drawing-rooms. and for
some time past it has been the fasliion
not to Introduce persons. The proper
form OF acknowledging an Introduction
when made is for the lady to give the
least nod Of her head to the left and not
in front. as used to be the old, graceful
style. In this country, where it has
become the fashion TO extend these Gus

What is Masonry.

Masonry has no secrets that can injure
the world. All its secrets as an order
tend to promote the universal good. 1t
is said that an Emperor once built a
palace of glass, and placed it on rising
ground so that his subjects might see
him in his private life. Masonry does
not require this outward display. 1t
takes the simplest of the hearts express
sions of secret faith; this is the secret of
Masonic strength. The Masonic struc-
ture can never die, based as it is on Faith,
Hope and Charity. Zealand Nail

The American Agriculturist, for which
the above cut was originally drawn, says
that q popularity of the Concord is that
